1. Allow sufficient clearances around the IDM unit for it to stay within its
specified operating temperature range. See
BURN HAZARD: Outer surfaces of the IDM unit can reach high temperatures,
125 °C (275 °F), during motor operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces. Consider IDM
unit surface temperature when selecting motor mating connections and cables.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or
damage to equipment.
2. Determine the radial and axial shaft load limitations of your motor. Refer
to the Kinetix Rotary Motion Specifications Technical Data, publication
GMC-TD001, for specifications.
3. Set the node address for the IDM unit. Refer to
on
page
70.
4. If sufficient mounting clearance is provided, rotate the hybrid cable
connectors into position prior to installing. If the mounting clearance is
restricted, rotate after installing.
ATTENTION: Connectors are designed to be rotated into a fixed position during
motor installation, and remain in that position without further adjustment.
Strictly limit the applied forces and the number of times the connector is
rotated to make sure that connectors meet the specified IP ratings.
Apply force only to the connector and cable plug. Do not apply force to the cable
extending from the cable plug. No tools, for example pliers or vise-grips, should be
used to assist with the rotation of the connector.
Failure to observe safety precautions could result in damage to the IDM unit and its
components.
5. Position the IDM unit on the machine in any position.
TIP
6. Properly mount and align the IDM unit using stainless steel bolts. Refer to
the Kinetix Rotary Motion Specifications Technical Data, publication
GMC-TD001, for dimensions.

IDM units with a brake may require use of the manual brake release
cable to release the brake prior to rotating the shaft so the IDM unit
will align with the machine mounts.
Refer to the Manual Brake Release Cable Installation Instructions,
publication 2090-IN037, for details on using this cable.
